Why did Trump choose Tillerson?

[wihosa]

Was it because of his "friendship" with the murderous former KGB agent turned autocratic ruler of Russia? It certainly isn't because he has any experience as a diplomat. After working his entire adult life for the amoral corporation.ExxonMobil, one wonders where is loyalties lie.

Trump's Chumps will believe whatever the proven liar says but the rest of us are left to wonder if there is a payoff coming for Trump if the sanctions on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine are dropped and Exxon's 1/2 Trillion dollar oil deal with Rosneft is viable again.

He won the auction. I think it was on Ebay

 

[wihosa]

Well it is apparent that no one can think of another reason that Trump would nominate Tillerson.

 

[wihosa]

So it's either the EBay raffle or the $500,000,000.00
Hmmm...

If confirmed, it would certainly be the first time someone with absolutely no government experience has become secretary of state but you could say the same about trump

Just be happy he didn't pick Snookie

 

[TheOldSchool]

Trump's just a troll feeling out how easy it will be to get away with things. So far he's learned it will be incredibly easy.

 

[wihosa]

So what if Ukraine loses its sovereignty? Just so long as Exxon can get their hands on the dough. What country would be next? Estonia? Latvia? Putin would like nothing more than reconstituting the Soviet Union.

Exxonmobil is not amoral. It is immoral.

It's one of the worse corporations in the world.

Because? You libs and your irrational hatred of corporations, see a doctor.

 

[Onyx]

Because?

They bribe governments, destroy ecosystems, and wage war on civilian militias that oppose them.

There is also their immoral business practices. They extract all the petroleum from a region and only 5% of the wealth goes back to the country they stole it from.

[Onyx]

It is fine if you do not care about mass murder, economic exploitation, and environmental destruction. It looks like you are the amoral one.

Riiiiight and where did you get your information? lol

 

[Onyx]

Riiiiight and where did you get your information? lol

From officials within the foreign governments themselves. There is also a lot of information on the internet. Of course you wont believe any of it, since you only believe what you want.

I like corporations as they have a lot of r&d. My problem is when they shit on the workers, while giving the ceo tens of millions of dollars.

Stockholders own the corporation and decide what to pay the CEO to run THEIR corporation. Workers got their paycheck that is all they are owed. Do you think the guy who mows your lawn is entitled to a percentage of the equity in your house? How about the guy who changes your oil, do you owe him 10% of the value of your vehicle when you sell it?

 

[edthecynic]

Because Putin ordered him to.

What a load of horseshit. A crappy analogy. Most big companies' stockholders are other big companies and/or hedge funds etc.
